PREFACE. 

In presenting to the public a " Directory of the City of De- 
troit for 1846," the publisher feels called upon to make an apol- 
ogy to his fellow citizens for what may be considered an act of 
temerity on his part, so soon after the appearance of his former 
meagre and defective production. 

In preparing the directory for 1845, it being his first attempt 
at a work of the kind, the publisher had reason to fear that it 
would not be what he desired, and in addition to his own inex- 
perience, he found to his severe mortification, when the work ap- 
peared that innumerable typographical errors had crept into it. 
He trusts however, when due allowance is made for the rapid 
manner in which the work is necessarily hurried through the 
press, (considering also the shortness of time since he took the 
names of the inhabitants,) that the present work will be found 
as free from errors as can reasonably be expected in one got up 
nuder like circumstances. 

In order to compile the Directory with numbers, the publisher 
applied to the City Council during last winter, for authority to 
unmber the several buildings of the City. In consequence of his 
application, an ordinance was passed adopting a uniform systetn 
for numbering the buildings in the City, but the Council did not 
give him any authority to do it. 



DISCIPLES. 

The Congregation of Disciples (noticed page 48 of the Di- 
rectory,) have obtained the use of the 

HALL OF THE CAPITOL, 

where they will hold their meetings every LORD'S DAY. 

Preaching in the morning and evening at the usual hours. 

They will meet in the afternoon at 3 o'clock for breaking of

TOPOGRAPillCAL LOCATION OF MICHIGAN. 



The State of Michigan extends from N. lat. 41 deg. 41 min., 
to N. lat. 47 (leg. 27 min.; and from 5 deg. 20 min. to 9 deg. 
53 min. W. Ion. from Washington, having an area of 43,500 
square miles on the lower or peninsula proper, and 27,000 square 
miles on the upper peninsula, making an aggregate of 70,500 
square miles, and is *'' separated by a natural boundary of rivers 
and lakes on the east and north-east from Upper Canada; from 
Illinois and Wisconsin on the vilest and south-west, and from 
Ohio and Indiana on the south. 

Lake Michigan on the west and north-west; Lake Huron, the 
river and Lake St. Clair, the straits of Detroit, with the west end 
of Lake Erie on the east and north-east, enclose a peninsula, 
forming a cone, of which the straits of Mackinaw is the apex, 
the south line or base being one hundred and sevent3--four miles 
east and west, and the length north and south three hundred 
miles. With this extent of coast, the number of large rivers and 
the infinity of small interior lakes, give the utmost facilities to 
internal navigation; add to this the superior quality of the soil, 
its easy tillage, the heavy and abundant crops, and perhaps the 
whole is not surpassed by any section of equal extent on the sur- 
face of the globe. 

The northern crupper peninsula belongs to a higher level. 
Beginning at the eastern end of Lake Superior and running south- 
erly along the Sault de Ste Marie's river, it lies nearly at right 
angles with the southern or peninsula proper, and separated from 
it by a part of Lake Michigan and Green Bay as far as Menomone 
river. It thence takes a north-west course to Montreal river?

from the mouth of which it follows the southern shore of Lake 
Superior to the place of bcg-inning, presenting an irregular and 
nearly isolated form, varying from twenty to one hundred and 
twenty-five miles In width. 

Michigan, with the States west and south-west, are designated 
by geographers as lying west of the great dividing ridge which 
determines the course of the rivers falling into the Atlantic on 
one side and the Mississippi on the other. This Appalachian 
ridge, lising in Alabama, runs north-cast, varying in altitude, to 
the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, in many places spreading out into 
broad mountainous districts of thousands of square miles in extent. 
These districts being occupied by subordinate ridges, are often 
cut through by rivers, causing depressions or valiies of co^rres- 
ponding depth. If, however, in tracing the continuation of the 
great ridge across the St. Lawrence to Labrador, it shouM be 
found that the same system continued, then the inr)portant fact 
would be elicited that it had been cut through by that river, the 
only occurrence of the kind from its source in the south to its 
termination in the north. The Potomac, the Susquehanna and 
the Mohawk rivers have their sources on its eastern declivity. 
The lowest pass across the Slate of New York, on the line of the 
Erie canal, is 565_feet above tide water; the medmm height, how- 
ever, a few miles sonth, commencing at Catskill, on the Hudson, 
and terminating at Portland harbor on Lake Erie is 1,300 feet, 
presenting no height less than 0{>5 feet, and the greatest 2,144 
feet. With these and other surveys, it has been ascertained that 
a water communication could not be made across the country 
Bouth of the State of New York, 

Further south the elevation is no where less than 2,478 feet 
above the ocean. The Round Top at Catskill mountains is 3,804, 
and the High Peak 3,718 feet above tide water. The western 
part of the State bordering on Lake Erie, embracing Chautauque 
and Cattaraugus counties, Warren and McKean counties of 
Pennsylvania, and the country southward, are occupied by a 
mountainous ridge. Chautauque Lake, the largest sheet of wa- 
t^r on thic table, is 1.291 fr-pt :»bovc the l^vcl of thr ocean and 



DIRECTORY. 7 

723 feet above Lake Erie; though only nine' miles distant, its 
discharged waters descend to the ocean alonor the western de- 
clivity of the Appalachian range through the Ohio and Mississippi 
rivers, The lov/est pass to the east over a swell of land near 
Cassadaga outlet, in Chautauque county, is 1,720 feet high, and 
another pass on the same swell 1,972 feet. The lowest niche 
in the height of land between Elm and Little Valley Creeks in 
Cattaraugus county, is 1,725 feet, and betv/een Little Valley and 
Big Valley, the lowest pass is 2,180 feet above the level of the 
ocean. Franklinville has an elevation of 1,580 feet, and Angelica 
1,428 feet, although both are situated in valleys. This height 
of land extends close to the shores of Lake Erie, as it may be 
seen that the Allegany, a tributary to the Ohio, rises within four 
or five miles of the lake. 

To the north this ridge gradually declines until near the south- 
ern shore of Lake Ontario. Seven miles north of the cataract 
of Niagara, it takes its last step to the margin of the lake. The 
ridge of rocks which forms this step, continues eastward, and 
passes around the border of the lake, being of a uniform eleva- 
tion of S19 feet, causing not only the cataract of Niagara, but also 
those of Genesee, Oswego and. the Black rivers. It thence unites 
v/ith the more elevated spurs of Chateaugay, south of Montreal, 
forming the eastern boundary of the great basins of Lake Erie 
and Ontario, and giving the direction to the course of tha St. 
Lawrence river through its Vv-hole length. 

From the foregoing remarks, it is observable that the great ba- 
sins or depressions of these lakes, are the abrupt terminations of 
the mountain range, and that \ye fall immediately into an exten- 
sive district, different in its topographical features, the peculiari- 
ties of which belong only to the region of the great lakes which 
bound the principal part of the northern frontier of the Union. 

Leaving Chautauque county, and passing around the south 
shore of Lake Erie, this ridge falls off to the south-west, curv- 
ing towards Iroquois county, in Illinois. It gives rise to the 
Muskingum, Sciota and Miami rivers in Ohio, and to the Wa- 
bash in Indiana, on its southern declivity; and to the Maumee,

■ emptying into Lake Erie, on its northern declivit)', while a small 
swell approaches the south bend of Lake Michigan, giving rise 
to the Illinois and its tributaries. The height of this ridge at 
the Portage summit, in Akron, 33 miles south of Cleveland, on 
the line of the Ohio canal, is 395 feet above Lake Erie, and 963 
above tide water; and the deep cut £8 miles east of Columbus, 
is but 72 feet less; at Portsmouth on the Ohio river, where the 
canal terminates, the elevation is 474 feet above tide water, and 
94 feet below Lake Erie. At the summit of the Maomce canal, 
at Fort Defiance, it is 88 feet above the lake. It then falls to 
17 feet, west of Chicago, on tiis line of the ship canal, thence it 
pursues an uninterrupted course northward to the Portage at 
Fort Winnebago, between the Wisconsin and Fox rivers, an 
elevation of 121 feet above Green Ba}^, and 134 above Lake Erie. 

At this point the Wisconsin river after flowing 170 miles from 
its source in the north, suddenly turns to the west and falls into 
the Mississippi near Prairie Du Chien, 160 miles ; the Pox river 
rising to the east, runs vvestwardly approaching it within 8,200 
feet, and turning, takes its course again eastwardly and falls into 
Green Bay. The surface of the water in the Fox is usually three 
feet lov/er than that in the Wisconsin, but in time ot floods pas- 
sages are made from one to the other in boats. 

The following table will show the elevation of this summit 
above Lake Michigan and Green Bay, the distance by the milita- 
ry road being 124 miles.

soiilhern horiiJon. It divides the waters that run north into that 
lake, and those of the south into the Mississippi, Green Bay and 
Lake Michigan; one of the most elevated ridges, receiving the 
appellation of Porcupine Hills. Swells branching off to the 
eastward and having their bases washed by the waters of the lake, 
present mural precipices, and assume different names. Those of 
the Pictured Rocks are said to be the most imposing. Some of 
these cliffs are three and four hundred feet high. From the Por- 
cupine Hills the country slopes eastward to the Sault de Ste

a rapid 4,500 feet long, with a descent of eighteen feet.

From the above data, we infer the following curious fact : that 
if a barrier eighteen feet high existed across the foot of Lake 
Huron near Fort Gratiot, lakes Huron and Michigan would rise 
to a level with Lake Superior : or if a similar barrier was placed 
of thirty-one feet, across the foot of Lake Erie at Buffalo, the 
singular result would follow, that four of the great lakes would 
become one uniform level, and merged in one immense inland sea. 

By an examination of the foregoing table, we see a striking 
peculiarity of this region of '• broad rivers and streams"— its vast 
extent — commencing at the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and extend- 
ing in a south-west direction up that river, thence into the basin 
of Lake Ontario, at an elevation of £32 feet above the ocean : 
thence again rising by the Niagara river and cataract, 333 feet to 
the level of Lake Erie, (the first in the central subdivision, in- 
cluding Lakes Huron and Michigan, of the great bhsin,) forming 
an angle at the western end of that lake in the estuary at the 
mouth of the Maumee river ; it thence runs nearly north through 
the straits of Detroit, the lake and river St. Clair, into LakeHu-

ron, rising 13 feet; thence by a north-westerly course through 
the straits of the Sault de Ste Marie, rising 18 feet to the west 
end of Lake Superior, a distance of 1,095 miles. The whole de- 
pression contains an area of 400,000 t-quare miles, 94,000 of which 
is occupied by water, still leaving an extent sufficient to sustain 
a population of more than seventy millions of inhabitants.

Michigan occupies a central position between the extremes, 
and uniting with the upper division of the St. Lawrence basin. 

THE LAKES AND LAKE COAST. 

These constitute a prominent feature and must be of great and 
increasing interest, connecting the agricultural with the com- 
mercial enterprise of Michigan. As no State with a location so 
distant from the seaports, has done more in the same short peri- 
od to develope the advantages to be derived from its internal re- 
fiources ; none can be in a situation better to reap the advanta- 
ges arising from an extended inland coast. 

If the distance by meanders of the shore of the lakes and in- 
dentations of the bays were to be made the standard for the 
length of the coast, it would amount to more than twice that of 
another run without regard to the sinuosities of the shore. 

The exact distance from the foot of Lake Huron (near Fort 
Gratiot,) at a point where the North line of township number six 
north, and range number 17 west intersects the water, to Middle 
Island, by meanders, is 345 miles including Saginaw bay. The 
same distance on a direct line is onlv 143 miles. Thence to 



DIRECTOIIY, 11 

Mackiitaw 97 miles, but by meanders including the False and 
True Presque Isles, the distance would be increased to 150 miles, 
making a total by meanders of 495 miles, and by a direct line240 
miles. 

If the eastern shore of the peninsula appears so irregular and 
deeply indented with bays and harbors, the western is not less 
so, particularly in the northern part. The difference will be pro- 
portionally greater, as the Little and Grand Traverse bays are 
larger, excepting Saginaw bay, than the largest bays on the east- 
ern side ; but as a small part only of the western shore has been 
surveyed, the subject will not admit of a more extended notice at 
this time. 

Many doubts have heretofore existed in relation to the number 
and convenience of harbors . A minute examination of the shores 
has however removed much of the prejudice against the naviga'- 
tion of the lakes, and there is probably no line of coast of equal 
extent (being 700 miles) that will with inconsiderable improve- 
ments furnish a greater number of good harbors. Much of the 
apprehended danger has arisen therefore from ignorance of these 
facts, and the localities of the numerous sheltered bays which 
would afford protection at all seasons, and as but few if any at- 
tempts have been made by actual navigators to explore for them- 
selves, and being without charts, it is no wonder that representa- 
tions of danger should have obtained, and the dread of shipwreck 
on an apparently desolate coast, magnify in a great degree the 
fears attendant on crossing these inland seas. 

DEPTH OP THE LAKES. 

The depth of the lakes has been a subject of speculation from 
the earliest period of their discovery by Europeans . Tables have 
been constructed, and the areas and contents of each endeavored 
to be ascertained. Errors have been made in these as well as in 
their elevation above the ocean; in the latter case however, little 
is left to conjecture. 

Lake St. Clair, an expansion of the straits between Lakes Hu- 
ron and Erie, 13 by 20 miles, is much the shallowest, the aver- 



12 DETROIT 

a<re depth being only £0 feet. Lake Erie docs not exceed 84 
feet. An ordinary storm disturbs its bottom, and its waters ap- 
pear turbid. These lakes may be considered as receiving the de- 
tritus brought down by the rivers flowing into the^n, and deposi- 
ted there. This in particular is apparent around the head of 
Lake St. Clair, where alluvion islands are constantly forming, 
and in spring choke up the numerous channels at the mouth of 
the St. Clair river, extending in the form of a delta far into the 
lake. The same remark may be made in respect to the west end 
of Lake Erie, where detritus extends some miles from the mout!i 
of Maumee river; the channel is often deviousf and a prevailing 
westerly wind reduces the lake to less than one fathom. 

Lakes Michigan and Huron have undoubtedly the deepest 
chasms. Receding from the shore, their waters deepen uniform- 
ly, and there exist no central shoals or islands, showing in any 
manner a broken or alpine formation at their bottoms. It is only 
in the straits of Mackinaw, and above and around the Georgian or 
Manitou bay of Lake Huron, that islands and shoals make their ap- 
pearance. The channels among these islands however, are only 
chasms through recks caused by abrasion from the water of the 
lakes. Soundings have been made to the incredible depth of 1 800 
feet without reaching the bottom, and the most experienced ship- 
masters do not hesitate to assert the average depth to be more 
than 1000 feet. Lake Superior though larger, cannot be consid- 
ered deeper than the others for reasons already assigned. It 
abounds with islands, many of which are large ; Isle Royale is 
100 miles long. Primitive masses of rock lie disrupted above 
and below its surface in every direction, and a permanent impres- 
sion is left that a chasm shapeless in its exterior as well as its 
interior dimensions, fed by springs and tributary rivers, are the 
great features of this lake at a depth of 900 feet. 

Mountain districts, as has been heretofore observed, may be cut 
through by rivers causing deep valleys and depressions, but no 
where on the continental surface of the globe, can be found so 
deep chasms as the basins of these lakes. Though elevated 596 
feet above, their bottoms are more than 400 feet below the level 



DIRECTORY, IS 

of the ocean. Their superficial area is 94,000 square miles, and 
they contain 11,300 cubic miles of water, a quantity more than 
half of all the fresh water on the earth. 

INTERIOR PENINSULA LAKES. 

Neither is the subject of the lesser interior lakes on the pe- 
ninsula, so far as their number and magnitude are ascertained, to 
be overlooked, forming as they do by their frequency, a great con- 
trast in the topography of this, to that of the other States. 

From the Ohio and Indiana line on the south, up to range line 
number seven north, including all south of the line of the North- 
ern Railroad, an extent of 9,688,320 square acres, there are 1,425 
of these lakes occupying areas of from one to 3,500 square acres 
each. Their waters are remarkably cool and transparent, and 
give to the landscape a highly picturesque appearance. To ap- 
ply the principles of hydrography in ascertaining their aggregate 
extent, becomes the more difficult, since in addition to their great 
number no two are of the same dimensions. The following, how- 
ever, will be found to approximate the truth, allowing each lake 
an area of 160 rods square, we shall give to the whole 228,000 
acres, an extent equal to nearly ten townships, and somewhat 
larger than Lake St. Clair, and a proportion of about one acre 
of water to every thirty-nine of dry land. 

All the rivers in the State have their sources in groups of these 
lakes, and they are the fountains of the unremitting volumes that 
flow through the thousand channels of our streams. While the 
rivers of neighboring States have measurably disappeared during 
seasons of uncommon drought, and caused derangement in their 
c ommerce, ours have suffered comparatively little diminution. 

PERIODICAL RISE AND FALL OF WATER IN THE 

LAKES. 
This interesting question has given rise to a variety of curious 
speculations. The inference drawn from the following data it is 
presumed will not be altogether inconclusive: 

Calculations may be made sufficiently accurate to determine 
nearly the amount of surface drained, " and if our climate shows 



14 



DETROIT 



a successive series of cold and moist years, and a series of '.varrn 
or dry ones mutually following each other," varieties in the vol- 
ume of water cannot but necessarily be great. 

Takingj'nto our account only the central and upper divisions 
of the St. Lawrence valley from Niagara, to the north west an- 
gle of Lake Superior, embracing all the country whose streams 
are tributary to the lake?, we have by the following table of sec- 
tions, 248,755 square miles of surface besides that of the lakes.

The floods in Lake Ontario are generally the highest by about 



accumulations of all the other Lakes from the Niagara to the 
head of the St. Louis river. 

From the year 1814, we can speak with some degree of con- 
fidence of the rise and fall of these waters. During that yea? 
the upper lakes were full. This was the case in 1815 with thd 
central and lower lakes. In 1819 and 1820, the water is said U 
have been at an unusually low ebb in the same lakes. 

The difference in the time of the apparent rise between the up' 
per and lower division, may be accounted for on the principli 
that the largest bodies of water are on the upper level, and ai 



DIRECTORY. 15 

these are discharged, the lower division would be comparatively 
high, while the upper would be reduced to low water mark. 

From 1320, the water again began to rise and continued to in- 
crease until 1028, since which time A. E. Hathon, Esq. civil en- 
gineer of Detroit, has given the subject particular attention. His 
first observations were taken at the old hydraulic works at the 
time when the pipes were being laid for furnishing the city with 
water from the Detroit river ; he has since transferred it to the 
top of the water table of the tower at the new hydraulic works* 
The surface of the river at the time of the transfer, August 21^ 
1838, was 3.21 feet below that base ; this will serve as a refer- 
ence for the future. 

It appears from his journal that the water was low in the spring 
of 1830, having fallen about two feet since 1828. In June fol- 
lowing, it had again risen two feet, or to the level of 1828. — 
From that time its rise was gradual until June 1836, at which 
time it was found to have attained the height of one foot and 
eight inches. In June 1837, it rose seven inches, in June 1838 
nine inches, and on the 21st of August following, three inches, 
making the rise 3 feet 3 inches since June 1830, and 5 feet 3 
inches since March in the same year.

Many conclude that the high Hood in the latter year was great- 
er than had been known for at least a century, from the fact that 
orchards had been killed along the St. Clair and Detroit rivers, in 
consequence of the lands being overflowed. 

On the 21st of August 1833, according to the above table the 
water had attained its maximum, and after continued fluctuations 
during the seven following years returned to the minimum of 
1830.

Total fall since 1838, 



It is stated that in the month of February in the present year, 
(1846) the Detroit river fell three feet nine inches lower than it 
had done in the corresponding month for many years precedinofj 
and that the like occurrence is not known to have happened but 
once before within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. This 
remarkable fall is attributed to the circumstance of a barrier be- 
ing formed by the ice at the foot of Lake Huron obstructing its 
passage. 

In order to estimate the enormous accumulations of water du- 
ring the time of the highest flood, and which is discharged through 
the riverj it will only be necessary to refer to the table where 5| 
feet appears to be the maximum of the rise, A transverse sec- 
tion of the river taken opposite Detroit where it is contracted to 
52 chains 80 links, of this depth contains 18,018 cubic feet, and 
allowing the current a velocity of one mile an hour, which is 
known to be less than its ordinary current, there would be dis- 
charged 95,135,040 cubic feet per hour, or 1,585,558 cubic feet 
per minute, an amount sufficient to supply 58 canals of the di- 
mensions of the Clinton and Kalamazoo, or 35 of the Grand Erie 
canal, and more than 16 times the amount contained in the Cedar 
river, and Sycamore creek, Ingham county, Deer creek and Grand 
river, Eaton county, Shiawassee river, Livingston county, and 
Rabbit river, Allegan county. 

We are not prepared to say that there are 16 times as many 
rivers (as those above enumerated) at the north, which have 
changed their course, and discharge in directions contrary to their 



DIRECTORY. H 

former ones, thus filling the basin of Lake Superior, and causing 
the periodical rise of the lakes, nor is it reasonable to suppose 
that rivers discharging so great a quantity, can be found in that 
region. We must therefore look for the cause to the quantity 
of rain which has fallen, and to the melting of the snow m spring 
upon the immense surface drained by these lakes. 

RIVERS. 

Streams receiving the appellation of rivers in the State are 
numerous. This name, however, is applied to none unless of 
sufficient magnitude to be considered worthy of meandering on 
both sides; accordingly instructions to that effect have been given 
by the Surveyor General to his deputies in the prosecution of the 
government surveys. The Grand Muskego and St. Joseph will 
bear a comparison in length with many of the western and no 
small number of the eastern rivers of the first and second class. 
Their width and depth are not in proportion to their length, 
arising from the fact of their uniform descent. This character- 
istic will apply to all the other streams on the peninsula. They 
are unbroken by cateracts, and but little obstructed by rapids. — 
The number in the surveyed part, and discharging into the lakes, 
is twenty — of these the Grand river is the largest. 

This river rises in Hillsdale and the south part of Jackson 
counties, in a cluster of more than fifty lakes that interlock with 
the Kalamazoo and St. Joseph, each emptying into Lake Michi- 
gan on the west; and with the Raisin, which empties into Lake 
Erie on the east. These, with the Little St. Joseph, St. Joseph 
ot Maumee, and Tiffins, or Bear Creek, running south have their 
sources on the highest table land in the southern half of the 
peninsula, being an elevation of 646 feet above Lake Erie. From 
its source in a northerly direction to Jacksonburgh is 25 miles, 
its level here being 325 feet above Lake Michigan. From Jack- 
sonburgh it is 53 miles to Red Cedar river, 30 to Looking Glass 
river, and 18 to the Maple river. At this point its elevation is 
56 feet above the lake, where it takes a westerly course of 50 
miles to Grand Rapids, and 40 more to its mouth — making its 



t8 DETROIT 

entire length 216 miles. It conveys the surplus water of 2,949,- 
liiO square acres. There are many other large tributaries besides 
those above mentioned, which it receives from the north — among- 
these are the Flat and Rogue rivers, no inconsiderable streams. 
Its width the first 40 miles from its mouth is 800 feet, and for 50 
miles further to Lyons, on the Maple, it is 500 feet. In spring, 
floods raise the river about ten feet, overflowing and enriching 
its valley, which is densely covered with a heavy and beautiful 
growth of forest trees. 

The St. Joseph has for its source more than 25 lakes, and as 
before mentioned, has its origin in Hillsdale and Branch counties, 
it runs a northerly course, afterwards passing to the south-west, 
and crossing the south boundary of the State, enters Indiana, 
again curving northwardly it re-enters this State, and falls into 
Lake Michigan, receiving many large tributaries, among which 
are the Paw Paw, the Dowagiac, Elkhart, Prairie, Pigeon and 
Fawn rivers. 

From its mouth to the line of Indiana, the distance is 48?; 
miles, at a level of 68^ feet, after running 43 miles in Indiana, 
and at an elevation of 99 feet, it re-crosses the State line, the 
distance to Three rivers is 23| miles: rising 35 feet, thence 26:2 
miles to Sturgeon lake, and 204 to Union City, making the whole 
distance 160 miles from its mouth to this place, and its height 
above Lake Michigan 285 feet; the entire length of the river is 
203 miles — its width is 900 feet at its mouth, and carries the 
surplus waters of 2,327,040 square acres. 

The Kalamazoo river drains nearly all the remainder of the 
surface on the western declivity, (situate between the Grand and 
St. Joseph rivers above described,) or about 1,382,400 square 
acres. Its tributaries are not many or large; its average width 
is about 200 feet; its source is in a group of 20 lakes. Farvvell's 
lake is six feet above the source of Grand river, though hardly 
40 rods distant; and so near do the rivers rising on this plateau 
approach each other that the waters flowing east, west and south 
might easily be made to mingle at this point. Its course is more 
direct than either of the others mentioned. 



DIRECTORY. 19 

The distarce from its itiouth to Allegan is 30 miles, with a 
current of three miles an hour; thence 25 miles to Kalamazoo, 
where it is 148 feet above the lake; thence to Albion, at the 
Forks, 13 miles, rising 9 feet, making a distance of 116 miles, 
and at an elevation of 345 feet. From the Forks to its source 
IS 34 miles; its entire length is therefore 150 miles. 

The rivers discharging on the eastern coast of the State virithio 
the surveyed district, have a less volume, and may be described 
together as having similar features, or if there be an exception, it 
is in the length. The length of all is abridged, however, by having 
a spp.ce to traverse only of about 40 to 60 miles, the dividing 
ridge being so much nearer the eastern than the western side of 
the peninsula. 

The river Raisin heads in a series of 50 lakes, the nearest of 
which is but a lew rods from the head of Grand river. Its whole 
length may be computed at 85 miles. 

The head waters of the western branches of the Huron also 
rise near those of Grand river, while its eastern sources inoscu- 
late with the Clinton. This river and the Clinton have their 
sources in, by far, the greatest number of lakes — they are no less . 
than £00, and some of them large, embraced in the area of Oak- 
land, Livingston and Washtenaw counties. 

The Saginav/ river receives the dischj^rged waters of the Cass, 
Flint, Shiawassee and Tittabawassee rivers, 25 miles from its 
mou'ih. These rivers, with their tributaries, descend from every 
point of the compass — the Tittabawassee from an unsurveyed 
district in the north, the Shiawassee from the western declivity 
of the summit in Oakland county in the south, the Flint and Cass 
from the summit of the same swell in Lapeer and Sanilac coun- 
ties on the east and south-east. Their average length is 90 
miles. 

The table which follows will show at once the vertical rela- 
tion of almost every important point throughout the State in- 
cluded in the surveyed portion when this report was made. The 
surface of Lakes Huron and Michigan is made the plane of refer- 
ence; these are 578 feet above tide water. 



20 DETROIT 

By a reference to the heights, it appears that there is a swell 
of land which may be called the true ivater shed, running from 
Point aux Barques south 45 degrees west, and passing out of the 
State into the north-east corner of Indiana, about equi-distant 
from Lakes Erie and Michigan. It attains its greatest elevation 
in Hillsdale county, seven miles east from Jonesville, where it is 
633 feet above the plane of reference. Its summit on the Central 
Railroad, at the division line between Jackson and Washtenaw 
counties, 14 miles east of Jacksonburgh, is 437 feet. In the vil- 
lage of Ponliac, in Oakland county, on the summit level of the 
Clinton and Kalamazoo canal, it is 336 feet. It then again rises, 
and at the head waters of Belle river, in Lapeer county, is 414 
feet. From this point it gradually falls oft", and with a few rills 
descending on its north and eastern slope, sinks to the level of 
the beach of the lakes. This swell will present but few eleva- 
tions above the actual surveyed lands exceeding 50 feet, and these 
knobs, where present, are located without design and without 
uniformity of range. 

On the line between Oakland and Livingston counties a branch 
diverges to the north-west, giving rise to the Red Cedar, Look- 
ing Glass and the Maple rivers on its western declivity, while the 
Shiawassee rises at the point of divergence, and runs northwardly 
parallel to its eastern side. The lowest pass across this swell is 
95 feet above Lake Huron. Leaving this point and ascendmg to 
township 10 north, of range 5 west, its course is changed to the 
north, and it rises to its greatest elevation at the sources of the 
Muskego river, in Lake Otisco, in town 22 north. From an in- 
spection of the map, an apparent design appears to have marked 
the future communication between Lakes Huron and Michigan, 
from the broad and deep indentation of Saginaw Bay over this 
narrow and low pass. 

From the dividing swell, the country lies in one plane on each 
side, inclining gently and uniformly to the margin of the lakes, 
with the exception of a slight corresponding elevation on the 
western side of the State. This may be traced from the great 
bend of Grand river to where it crosses the Kalamazoo, west of 



DIRECTORY. 21 

thai village, thence curving with theshoreof the lake, terminates 
at the South Bend, where it diverts the St. Joseph river, through 
a part of Indiana. Its average height at Grand river is 80 feet; 
200 feet at Kalamazoo and 75 at South Bend above the level of 
the surrounding country. It need not be stated that the interior 
peninsula lakes partake of the highest elevation, when reference 
is had to their being situated at the sources of all the rivers; and 
that the summit in Oakland and Livingston counties abounds with 
the greatest number. 

From tables in which the elevation of places have been collated, 
a few remote from each other have been selectee, which may- 
serve to show the uniformity of the surface generally. Conclu- 
sions from this table cannot bo drawn, however, in detriment to 
the healthy and rapid, and not unfrequently precipitous flow of 
all our streams.

NATURAL WOODS OF MICHIGAN. 

The arrangement which this subject calls for, properly belongs 
to the department of botany. Nevertheless without attending 
to the details which should accompany a catalogue of an entire 
flora, it will be sufficient to exhibit generally the geographical 
boundaries of such of the larger productions as are rerjuired for 
constant use, either in farming, building or for the market. 

Oak is the predominant growth of the peninsula. Among the 
varieties, the white is in the greatest abundance. The shingle 
or laurel oak and the red oak are next abundant. And the burr 
oak, though not usually found intermixed in common with the 
other varieties, abounds, notv^^i'thstanding, over extensive areas 
not unfrequentiy to the exclusion of other kinds. 

The surest indication of a good soil accompanies the last men- 
tioned, and the finest and largest crops of wheat are there pro- 
duced, for the reason that the soil contains a larger amouivt of 
calcareous matter. 

Dividing the peninsula by an east and west line, nearly corres- 
ponding to that of the line of the Northern Railroad, a botanical 
map would represent the northern portion as having, by far, the 
greatest burthen of timber possessing a proportionable quantity 
of the different varieties found elsewhere in the State, 

Marked limits may be given to those districts in the southern 
portion, where a few groves of pines are found. Their localities 
are in the vicinity of the water courses of Kent and Ottawa 
counties, and among the timbered lands of Allegan, estendino- in 
comparatively small tracts along the borders of Lake Michigan 
nearly to New Biiflulo, in Berrien. In crossing the State through 
the interior counties, none are met until reaching the central 
parts of Genesee, Lapeer and St. Clair. Here they are again 
found in the same range of northern townships, where they first 
occur in the counties before mentioned. 

North of thi;i belt or zone, which is the natural boundary be- 
tween the oak openings and plains of ihe south, the forest abounds 
promiscuously with the white, yellow and Norway pine, white 
cedar, tamarac, ash, oak, birch, sugar maple, sycamore, beech, 
lynn, elm. white wood, black walnut, See. kiC 



DIRECTORY, ! 23 

There are, however, extensive-districts nearly continuous from 
Ottawa, Kent and Ionia counties northward, of openings and 
small prairies, particularly a fev/ miles inland from White river, 
and from Great and Little Sable points. But on ascending the 
Mnskego river, until reaching- its source, thence north on both 
sides of the principal meridian, extensive tracts;occur, in many 
instances free from a mixture of other timber, while in other 
places the sugar maple and beech are not unfrequently found, 
commingling with pines of immense girth. 

The fact of the white wood and black walnut accompanying 
the sugar maple and beech, as seen occupying the districts inland 
from the Sable points, in towns J3, 14, 15, 16 and 17 north, of ran- 
ges 14, 15,16, 17 and 18 Vi^est, would, to the most ordmary agricul- 
turist, demonstrate the superiority of the soil; and when taken 
in connection with the limited tracts of oak openings, and the 
great amount of the most valuable timber, it seems difficult to 
determine any preference of the southern over the northern por- 
tions of the State. 

The soil is not considered of so good a quality on the eastern 
side of the peninsula, immediately along the shore of Lake Huron, 
owing to its low, level and sandy qualities, consisting chiefiy of 
the debris of sand rock; consequently the timber is generally 
stunted, and consists in great proportion of birch, tamarac and 
cedar. Where pine occurs, it is mostly too small to be profitably 
made use of. But at every advance inland both improve. 

The face of the country throughout the northern interior, id 
high and rolling or undulating, and appears to one acquainted 
with the southern part of the peninsula to bear a close resem- 
blance in its general contour. 

It may be considered then as a question fully decided that 
more than one-half of the State is heavily timbered in that part 
lying above the line of the Northern Railroad — that the sugar 
maple and pine are here the most common, as well as the most 
valuable timber — that the other kinds are found in situations 
equivalent to their occurrence farther south, upon streams and 
bottom lands, or upon plains and openings. No tree is held in 



24 DETROIT 

higher eslimation by the Indians than the sugar maple, and no 
source of complaint is more grievous than a separation from it by 
removal to places were it is not found. 

The pine, if not wasted or wantonly destroyed by fire or oth- 
erwise, will furnish an abundant supply for a long time to come. 

DECREASE OF ELEVATION IN THE WATERS OF 
THE LAKES. 

The State Topographer, S. W. Higgins, Esq., from whose 
reports the publisher has compiled the foregoing article, remarks 
in 1840 in relation to " the decrease of elevation in the waters of 
the lakes''' as follows: "It is a quGstion I believe satisfactorily 
determined at the present time, that there exists no perceptible 
tide in them which can be referable to planetary influence; yet 
for a long time to come, it is presumed the ordinary fluctuation 
produced by atmospheric agency will be considered a tidat wave, 
nor will the persuasion be easily dismissed, that so great an ex- 
panse of water can remain unaffected, at least to some degree. 

The question is also as fully determined as to their general 
rise for a succession of years, and then their general subsidence 
to a certain minimum, the actual degree of which, as well as the 
maximum, were not recorded previous to the year 1800,'' 

CHANGE OF ELEVATION IN THE WATERS OF THE 
GREAT LAKES. 

When the importance of the above subject is duly considered, 
the publisher of the Directory trusts the following additional ar- 
ticle in relation to it, will not be unacceptable to his friends and 
patrons, seeing especially it is Irom the pen of one so eminently 
qualified to treat thereon, as the late lamented State Geologist, 
Dr. Douglass Houghton. It is extracted from the State Geolo- 
gist's report, dated February 4, 1839: 

*• Intimately connected with the geological changes which are 
taking place from the deposite of detrital matter, at the mouths 
of streams, and in the deeper portions of the lakes, together with 
the degradation of the lake and river coasts, are the changes in 
the relative level of the waters of the lakes, a subject to which 



DIRECTORY. 25 

the attention of our citizens has been more particularly called, 
within the past two years. 

The great interest which this subject possesses, in connection 
with our lake harbors, as well as with those agricultural inter- 
ests, situated upon the flat lands bordering the lakes and rivers, 
may be a sufficient apology for the introduction in this report, of 
the accompanying facts and reflections upon the subject. An ac- 
curate and satisfactory determination of the total rise and fall of 
the waters of the lakes, is a subject, the importance of which, in 
connection with some of our works of internal improvement, and 
harbors, can at this time scarcely be appreciated. 

Much confusion is conceived to have arisen in the minds of a 
portion of our citizens, in consequence of a confounding of the 
regular annual rise and fall to which the waters of the lakes are 
subject, with that apparently irregular elevation and subsidence 
which only appears to be completed in a series of years — changes 
that are conceived to depend upon causes so widely different that 
while the one can be calculated with almost the same certainty 
as the return of the seasons, the other can by no means be calcu- 
lated with any degree of certainty. 

It is well known to those who have been accustomed to notice 
the relative height of the water of the lakes, that during the 
winter season, while the flow of water from the small streams is 
either partially or wholly checked by ice, and while the springs 
fail to discharge their accustomed quantity, the water of the 
lakes is invariably low. 

As the spring season advances, the snow that had fallen during 
the winter is changed to water; the springs receive their accus- 
tomed supply, and the small streams are again opened, their banks 
being full in proportion to the amount of snow which may have 
fallen during the winter, added to the rapidity with which it has 
been melted. 

The water of the Iakes,in consequence of this suddenly increased 
quantity received from the immense number of tributaries, com- 
mences rising with the first opening of spring, and usually attains 
its greatest elevation, (at least in the upper lakes,) sometime in 
3 



26 DETROIT 

the month of June or July. As the seasons advance, or during 
the summer and a large portion of the autumnal months, evapo- 
ration is increased, and the amount of water discharged by the 
streams lessened, in consequence of which, the water of the lakes 
falls very gradually, until winter again sets in, when a still greater 
depression takes place, from the renewed operation of the causes 
already mentioned. 

The extreme variation in the height of water from winter to 
summer is subject to considerable change, according as the win- 
ter may vary from cold and dry to warm and wet; but during the 
past eight years it may be estimated at two feet. This annunl 
rise and fall of the water of the lakes, dependant as it manifestly 
is, upon causes which are somewhat uniform in their operation, 
must not be confounded with that elevation and depression to 
which the waters are subject, independent of causes connected 
with the seasons of the year. These latter changes, which take 
place more gradually, sometimes undergoing but little variation 
for a series of years, are least liable to be noticed, unless they bo 
very considerable; but with respect to consequences, they are of 
vastly more importance, since they are subject to a larger and 
more permanent range. 

That the waters of the lakes, from the earliest settlement of 
the country, have been subject to considerable variation in rela- 
tive height, is well known. At one time, the belief was very 
general that these changes took place at regular intervals, rising 
for a space of seven years and subsiding for a similar length of 
time — a belief which would appear to be in consonance with that 
of the Indians upon the peninsula, and with whom it no doubt 
originated. It is not wonderful that a subject, the causes of 
which are so little comprehended by our natives, should be in- 
vested with an air of mystery, or that an error once propagated, 
(in consequence of the long series of years required to bring 
^bout any considerable change,) could scarcely be eradicated. 

While the idea of the septennial rise and fall must be regarded 
aS: founded in error, it is nevertheless true that from the earliest 
tecQvda the height of the lakes has been subject to a considerable.

sV 



variation, usually rising very gradually and irregularly for a scries 
of years, and after this, falling in a like manner. 

Our old inhabitants agree in stating that the waters were high 
from 1800 to 1802, in proof of which, it is stated that the roads, 
which had before been in use upon the banks of the Detroit river, 
were so completely inundated as to be rendered impassable. A 
Eimilar circumstance is related to have occurred in the vicinity of 
Chicago — a broad sandy beach, forming the immediate shore of 
the lake near that place, having been wholly overflowed. 

I have been unable to obtain authentic information respecting 
the changes which took place between the years just mentioned 
and 1314; but from the latter year to the present time, we have 
a more connected series of facts relating to the subject. 

Dr. Houghton extracts the following from the personal obser- 
vations of Col. Henry Whiting, U. S. army, many years resident 
in the city of Detroit: "It is now a matter of record that in 
1814 and 1815 the Detroit and St. Clair rivers were unusually 
Ligh; that the foundations of the houses, and much land that had 
long been under dry cultivation, were submerged. These 'build- 
ings had been erected many years before, and of course under the 
belief that they v/ere aloof irom all but extraordinary and tempo- 
rary inundations. No observations appear to have been made 
upon the progress of the elevation — whether it were gradual or 
abrupt, or whether there were any preceding seasons of a char- 
acter to produce it. 

In 1320, or about that time, the rivers had resumed their usual 
level. Several wharves were built at Detroit between that year 
and 1828, at a height, as was supposed, sufficiently above the 
general level for all purposes of convenience and safety. At the 
latter date, the rivers had again attained the elevation of 1815, 
and remained so until 1830, with only such occasional depressions 
as might be caused by strong winds, being nearly upon a level 
with the wharves." 

From 1830, when my attention was first drawn to this subject, 
to the present year, I have been enabled to make a somewhfat 
connected series of observations, under circumstances peculiarly 



28 DETROIT 

favorable, having, during that time, followed the complete line of 
coast from the foot of Lake Huron to the head of Lake Superior 
by canoe, and having traversed portions of the coast several times, 
thus being enabled to renew observations at points where they 
had been previously made. During the time of these examina- 
tions, I have been enabled to fix with a considerable degree of 
certainty, upon the height at which the waters of the lakes stood 
in 1819 and 20, when they were at their lowest level, a step 
which was conceived to be one of the first necessary in deter- 
mining the complete range between high and low water. 

For the last two years my attention has been more particularly 
called to the coast of Lakes Huron and Michigan, and I feel con- 
fident in asserting that the water of these lakes has, during the 
last year, (1838,) attained a greater elevation than has before 
occurred in a very great number of years — a fact which is con- 
clusively shown by the renewed degradation of banks covered 
with debris that had long remained undisturbed, as well as by the 
great number of forest trees sometimes covering many acres of 
ground that have been destroyed in consequence of. inundation. 
Many of these forest trees may be estimated to have attained an 
age of from one to two centuries. 

In order to arrive as nearly as possible at correct conclusions 
as to the variation in the height of the water of the lakes from 
1820 to 1838, I have carefully compared my own observations 
with those contained in an invaluable register kept in this city by 
Col. Henry Whiting, U. S. army, as also with the valuable data 
contamed in the report of the State Topographer hereto appen- 
ded. It should be noted that the height of the water in Etetroit 
river is much more subjectto fluctuation from slight causes, such 
as the effects of the winds and ice, than in the open lakes; causes 
for the operation of which, it is sometimes difficult if not impos- 
sible to make the proper allowance. In fact, slight causes are 
productive of such changes as to render it absolutely impossible 
to arrive at accurate conclusions, except by simultaneous obser- 
vations made at points widely separated.

Assuming June 1819, and 1820, as zero or the point of low 
water, the following table will not vary very far from an accurate 
statement of the relative height for several of the subsequent 

years .

In examining this table of relative heights, it should be borne 
in mind that this estimate does not include the regular yearly va- 
riation, to which the waters of the lakes are subject. The es- 
timates it will be seen, are made from June of each year, or that 
month in which the waters are invariably high, but it is conceiv- 
ed the result would not be varied were the calculations made 
from any other month in the year, provided the same month were 
eelecled for the observations of the succeeding years. Were the 
difference in height computed from February 18£0, to June 1838, 
the total amount would be found to be increased to about six feet 
eight inches, a method of estimating v/hich would lead to con- 
clusions wholly unwarranted: nevertheless the assumption of 
these defective premises may serve to account for the exaggera- 
ted statements which have so often been made, of the increased 
height of these waters. 

This rise of water has by no means been confined to the great 
lakes, for the waters of the small lakes through the whole inte- 
rior portions of the State, have, unless their waters are dischar- 
ged through broad and shallow outlets, been increased in a like 
manner. Small streams, the v^idth of which, at their points of 
intersecting the section lines, were recorded by the U. States* 
Surveyors, in those surveys made from 1820 to 1826, have been 
found in many instances during the past year, to have nearly 
double the width assigned them, and mills have actually been 
erected upon streams which, according to the field notes, taken 
in the years mentioned, must at that tune have been nearly dry. 
It is also well known that within the last few years, (preceding 
8» 



30 DETROIT 

1838) portions of the elevated country which were previously 
dry, have been inundated with water, springs have burst out 
where they had been previously unknown, and that marshes which 
before contained but little water, have been transformed into 
email ponds or lakes. 

These changes have not been peculiar to Michigan, for they 
have been noticed more or less over the whole western part of 
the United States, and perhaps it may not be too much to add, 
over most of the northern part of the continent, and they are 
changes which from the immense extent aflected, must depend 
upon causes which have operated in a very general manner. 

It is vv'ell known that the water of all streams, during the oc- 
currence of a wet and cold season, when the fall of rain is in- 
creased, and evaporation diminished, is augmented, and that the 
augmentation or diminution will be in proportion as these causes 
are in more or less active operation. Our great chain of inland 
lakes, so far as these causes may be supposed to operate, may be 
regarded as a stream of great width, and must necessarily be 
liable to be affected by similar causes,, although when the great 
extent occupied by these bodies of water is taken into considera- 
tion, it can be readily understood why these causes when once 
brought into operation, would produce their results more slowly, 
as well as why the results once produced, would be of a more 
permanent character. 

That the changes in the relative height of the waters of the 
lakes may be dependant upon the operation of a similar series of 
general causes, operating for a succession of years, I have many 
reasqns for inferring. The succession of cold and wet seasons 
immediately precedins; 1838, have been proverbial over the whole 
western country, and the unfavorable influence which these wet 
seasons have produced, more particularly upon the farming in- 
terests situated upon low and flat lands, has been severely 
felt by that portion of our agricultural community. While these 
facts may be apparent to all, it is nevertheless desirable to refer 
to the subject in a more definite manner, a task which is rendered 
somewhat difficult for the reason that, until the last few years, 



DIRECTORY. 31 

continuous tables indicating the amount of rain which has fallen, 
have only been kept at a very limited number of places in the 
United States. 

The total amount of rain which fell at Philadelphia, (as shown 
by a register chiefly kept at the Pennsylvania Hospital,) from 
1810 to 1814 inclusive, or during- the five years immediately pre- 
ceding- the high water of 1814 and '15, was 135,68 inches, anj 
the amount which fell at the same place from 1815 to 1819, the 
five years immediately preceding the low water of 1319 and '20, 
was 151,14 inches, showing an excess of 34,53 inches, or a frac- 
tion over two feet and ten and a half inches fur the years imme- 
diately preceding the stage of high water. 

The amount of ram which fell at Philadelphia, as deduced from 
the same table, from 1316 to 1826, inclusive, was 364,43 inches, 
and from 1827 to ia37 inclusive, 451,05 inches^ being an increase 
in the last 11 years of 86,6£ inches, or a fraction over 7 feet 2^ 
inches. 

The amount of rain which fell at Marietta, Ohio, (as deduced 
from the tables of Dr. Hildreth,) from 1819 to 1823 inclusive, 
was 202,33 inches, and from 182a to 1832 inclusive, was 228,17 
inches, showing an increase during the last 5 years estimated 
of 25,34 inches, or a fraction over 2 feet 1| inches. 

That there has beei> a corresponding increase in the amount of 
rain that has fallen within the area of the great lake basin, I am 
not able to show by actual data; but the known increased size of 
the numerous tributaries, together with the other facts mentioned, 
will go far to substantiate the opinion that the fall of rain over 
that area has been greatly increased during that time. 

According to the estimate of the State Topographer it appears 
that the basin of the great north-western lakes has a superficial 
area nearly four times larger than that of the lakes themselves. 
Now, if we may be allowed to assume that the increase of the 
amount of rain which has fallen into this basin during the last 11 
of the 14 years estimated, be equal to the increase at Philadelphia 
during that time, it would follow that, had all sources of dis- 
charge been cut off, this cause al^one would have been sufficient 



S2 DETROIT 

to elevate the waters of the lakes about 29 feet* — an elevation 
more than six times greater than that which is estimated to have 
taken place. 

When we take into consideration, in connection with the causes 
already enumerated, the fact that during the wet years evapora- 
tion must have been less than during the dry ones, it may fairly 
be presumed that sufficient apparent causes have existed to pro- 
duce all the results which have been noticed; and we may add, 
ehould a succession of dry and warm seasons follow, we may look 
with certainty for a return of the water of the lakes to its former 
low level. 

SOILS. 

The following is extracted from a report of Bela Hubbard, Esq., 
to the Geological Department, under date of Jan. 12, 1840: 

" More than one hundred varieties of soils for future analysi?, 
and specimens illustrative of all the rocks, have been added to the 
JState Cabinet." With such a variety of soils, it is presumed 
there will be found no difficulty in Michigan in meeting the wants 
of agriculturists, whatever may be their predilection in favor of 
the different kinds. In regard to some of the soils, which, at a 
cursory glance, may have a sterile appearance, we find it re- 
marked in the report last alluded to: " Many of these soils have 
the appearance of barrenness, which, from the salts contained, 
are, nevertheless, eminently fertile, and unrivalled for the produc- 
tion of the grains most important to man." 

SCENERY. 
The following description of the scenery of our beautiful pen- 
insula, is from the pen of the same gentleman from whose reports 
the foregoing extracts were made, Bela Hubbard, Esq.: " The 
Btern rules of science may seem to compel the Geologist to take 
little note of the merely picturesque features of the landscape; 
yet, called as he is to view them in their wildest character, he 

* It is not. of course, spuposed that had the sources of discharge been cut off 
this would have been the actual result, for the estimate is made without any re- 
ference to the increased evaporation, and other causes, which would have been 
brought into uctioo iu consequence of the extended area. 



DIRECTORV. 33 

cannot be altogether insensible to the grandeur and majesty, or 
the variety and bloom of nature. The sublime mountainous 
scenery of the eastern States has been often and justly dwelt 
upon with admiration by both the Geologist and the traveller. 
Little of the peninsula scenery partakes of the grandeur of primi- 
tive and more broken districts: but none can fail to notice one 
superior charm which more than compensates, in the eyes of 
those who are content to overlook the romantic aspect of the 
land, for the consideration of its solid bounties. To the culliva- 
ter of the soil, every consideration which its picturesque character 
presents, will yield before the more practical one of its fertility. 

But few could have traversed the varied portions of our State, 
and compare their rich scenery with that of more eastern lands, 
with any feeling of disappointment. The ordinary character of 
the "openings" is that of a maiestic orchard of stately oaks, 
which is frequently varied by small prairies, grassy lawns and 
clear lakes. These magnificent groves were, until within a few 
years kept free from under-brush by the passage through them of 
annual fires, allowing successive growths of herbage to spring up 
luxuriantly, covering the surface with a profusion of wild flowers 
and verdure. 

The variety so essential in a landscape of woodland, glade and 
sheets of water are here combined in a manner which seems the 
result of art, but which is not less truly inimitable. It is diffi- 
cult to resist the impression that we are surveying an old abode 
of civilization and of tasteful husbandry. It resembles those ex- 
quisite pictures of Park scenery, where the vision roams at will 
among clumps of lofty oaks and over open glades gemmed with 
flowers, while the distant woodland bounds the horizon, and the 
velvet-skirted lake gleams upon the eye as it reflects the light 
from the open prairie, or is faintly visible from the bosom of the 
glen, reposing in silent loneliness. 

Such scenes, it is true, are destitute of the rough majesty of 
mountain aspects, but they have that all-pervading tranquil beauty 
which forsakes the lofty hill side and the heavy cliff". They pre- 
sent nature in her simple loveliness, without her stern aspect and 



34 DETROIT 

masculine attire. She has bestowed her blessing upon the land, 
and spread over it her robes of beauty.- 

The limits of an annual report prevent more than this very 
meagre notice of some of the characteristics of our peninsula 

scenery." 

FUTURE PROSPECTS OP THE PENINSULA. 

At the conclusion of the report of S. W. Higgins, Esq., from 
which copious extracts have already been made, he remarks in 
reference to the future prospects of the peninsula as follows: — 
*'lt would not be difficult from its topographical features to pre- 
dict the future condition and prospects of the peninsula. It is 
conceded that most of the soil is peculiarly adapted to the pro- 
duction of wheat and other grains. 

No district will ever be exclusively manufacturing, even though 
the coal in the central counties will in time be an article of com- 
mon use. 

The necessity which compels the erection of manufacturing 
CRtablishments, propelled by steam elsev/here, is the want of 
hydraulic power; no such necessity exists throughout our whole 
penmsula; were it otherwise, and a resort be had to steam, the 
coal region will furnish an abundant supply for all purposes which 
any other State can boast. Hence it is, that so common are the 
facilities for the erection of mills on our streams, that there are 
no less than 836 for flouring and sawing in 13 counties; Oakland 
and Lenawee each have 51, and Washtenaw 58. 

With equal facilities for making lumber, the pine of the north 
has already become an article of export from our shores. 

Already such is the puisuit after the wealth which lies stored 
up within the lakes, that public attention is turned to the estab- 
lishment of extensive fisheries on their distant shores and islands, 
and it will require but a few years for the development of this 
field of enterprize, and realization of its lucrative returns. 

Michigan is"a maritime State, having the advantages of the 
commerce of immense inland seas on every side. Add to this 
the agricultural resources of which she is capable, and within the 



dihectory. 35 

last iew years has given an earnest, in her interior lakes and 
rivers — her resources in lumber and minerals — and an estimate 
may be formed of her future prospects and wealth, in the exporta- 
tion of her products, the establishment of manufactories, in lines 
of internal improvement, and in the independence of her citisens." 

In looking over the tables attached to the United States census 
for 1840, we find an earnest of the capability of the agricultural 
resources of Michigan. In that year it is stated Michigan raised 
2,157,108 bushels wheat, £,277,'039 bushels of corn, and 2,209,- 
£05 of potatoes — while Illinois with more than double the popu- 
lation raised but l,S35jS93bushelsof wheat, 2,025,520 of potatoes. 

Whether this disparity in the agricultural resources of two 
neighboring States be ascribed to the difference of the respective 
soils, or the superiority of one mode of husbandry over the other, 
or to any assignable cause whatever, we do not fear Michigan 
will suffer much in the comparison. 

COPPER MINES OP LAKE SUPERIOR. 

Among the sources of wealth to be found in Michigan, the last 
to be noticed, though by no means the least in importance, is the 
Copper Mines of Lake Superior. The discoveries already made, 
according to the accounts published by persons engaged in the 
work, have far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine; 
and whatever measure of success may attend some of the Com- 
panies embarked in this enterprise, it appears to have been proved 
beyond all doubt that in the vicinity of Lake Superior there lie 
hid mineral treasures, perhaps inexhaustible. Some idea may bo 
formed of the immense value of some of these " diggings" from 
a statement published by Prof. Jackson, who states, among other 
things, that " in v>?orking one single exploration shaft at the Ea- 
gle river mine, the metalic contents brought out by hand are 
worth $30,000!" and that "the deeper they go, the richer the 
mineral is." 



HISTORY OF DETROIT. 



Detrot Cjty and Port of Entry, Wayne county, and Capi- 
tal of the State of Michigan, is situated on the west bank of the 
river Detroit, 18 miles above Lake Erie, 7 miles below the outlet 
of Lake St. Clair, 302 VV. from Buffalo, and 545 from Washing- 
ton, Lat. 42 degrees 19 minutes, 53 seconds, North, and Long, 
west, 82 degrees, 53 seconds, or from Washington west, 5 deg. 
5G min. 12 seconds. DifTerence in time from Washington, 23 
min. 44 sec. New York City, 34 min. 48 seconds. 

The site of the city is an elevation of about thirty feet above 
the level of the river. The plan of the town, upon the river and 
for 1200 feet back is rectangular, the streets are from 50 to 200 
feet wide. Four roads constructed by the general government, 
terminate in the centre of the city ; the Chicago, leading to Illi- 
nois; the Saginaw, to the head of Saginaw bay : the Fort Gra- 
tiot, to the foot of Lake Huron, and the Grand River, to Lake 
Michigan at the mouth of Grand River. There is, also, a Uni- 
ted States road leading from Detroit to Ohio. 

Detroit River is about 25 miles long ; average breadth, 1 1-10 
mile ; average depth, six fathoms ; current, two miles an hour. 

The climate of Detroit is temperate ; snow falls at from six to 
eighteen inches deep, and never remains more than a few weeks. 
The transition from the cold of spring to the heat of summer is 
rapid ; from summer to winter gradual and prolonged. As gen- 
eral characteristics, the spring is wet and prolonged ; summer 
dry: autumn mild ; winter cold and dry. The average tempera- 
ture in the spring is 50 Fahrenheit ; summer, 80 ; winter, 20 ; 
autumn, 60 to 65. 

" The history of Detroit," it has been observed " is the history 
of the north-west. Three sovereigns have swayed it — five times 



DIRECTORY. 37 

its flag has changed hands; it has been twice captured in war, 
and once burned to the ground. It dates back to the landing ot 
the Pilgrims, and was then a stopping place for the Courriers du 
Bois. Its legitimate settlement, however, was in 1701. Fort 
Gratiot and the Sault Ste Marie had been previously located. — 
This whole region, from its first discovery until 1762, was under 
the dominion of France, to which it was bound by a chain of 
forts, stretching from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Mi ;■ i^^-ippi 
river. With the victory of Wolf, and the fall of Quebvc^ these 
forts passed into the possession of Great Britain, by whom a por- 
tion of them were surrendered to the United States, agreeably to 
the capitulation of Montreal. During the French wars, they 
served as rallying points to those numerous bands of savage?^ 
which hung like the scythe of death upon our colonial frontiers. 
During the revolution they served a like purpose, but to a differ- 
ent people. Here, again, in 1312, the meteor flag of Britain 
waved over, and invoked to its support, the untutored sons of the 
forest. In 1787, the North-west Territory was established, 
agreeably to the provisions of an ordinance drawn for that pur- 
pose, by Nathan Dane, of Beverly, Massachusetts, according to 
which, not more than five, nor less than three States, were to be 
carved out of it. Four have already been admitted into the Union 
— Wisconsin alone remains. Arthur St. Clair was appointed its 
first Governor. Michigan, by the territorial division, consisted 
of a single county, and was entitled to but one representative in 
the territorial Legislature, at Chillicothe, 

In 1805, Michigan was erected into a territory, and William 
Hull appointed Governor. He held the ofGce until the war, when 
he surrendered it, along with the whole west, into the hands of 
the enemy. Subsequently to the war. Gen. Cass was appointed 
Governor, and continued to fulfill the duties of the office until 
1831, when he was taken into Gen. Jackson's cabinet. He was 
succeeded by Mr. Porter, of Pennsylvania. In 1837, the Terri- 
tory was admitted into the Union as a State, and Stevens Thomp- 
son M ason was elected its first Governor, before he was 25 years 
of age.

38 DETROIT 

The above is a chronological history of this region. It has 
been the theatre of some of the most disgraceful, as well as the 
most brilliant, exploits recorded in our annals. Fire has scathed 
it — the tomahawk, scalping knife, and war club have been let 
loose upon it. It has been the scene of one disgraceful surren- 
der, of more than fifty pitched battles, and twelve horrid massa- 
cres. Here, three powerful Indian confederacies have been formed 
and broken. Here, that daring warrior, Pontiac, entered upon 
Ihe bold plan of driving every white man over the Alleghanies. 
In the gloomy recesses of a mind " of such things," he conceived 
a plan of death, as brief in its details as it was terrible in its exe- 
cution. It was no more nor less than to attack, simultaneously, 
thirteen well garrisoned forts, stretching from Niagara and Pitts- 
burgh, all along the lakes, to the Mississippi, and along the river 
Wabash . So secret were his plans, and so prompt was he in 
their execution, that ten of these forts fell in a single day, and 
their inmates were massacred. Here Tecumseh "rose, and 
reigned and fell." VVe feel a glow of admiration at the mention 
of this magnanimous chief. Participating, against ns, in all the 
conflicts, from the defeat of Harmar to the battle of the Thames, 
where he lost his life, there is no spot or blemish on his honor or 
humanity. He applied the most approbrious epithets to Gen. 
Proctor, for his cruelty at the River Raisin; and when that Gene- 
ral sought to make Tecumseh a Brigadier General in the British 
service, he threw back the insignia of office with contempt, de- 
claring that he was their ally only for the good of his country.- 
An humble Shawnee, by original and native force, he acquired an 
ascendency over the wild and tumultuous tribes scattered for 
1,000 miles in the wilderness, and taught freedom from all re- 
straint by their ancestors, only equalled by the sway which 
Napoleon, in his palmiest days, exercised over the enkindled and 
blazing minds of Frenchmen. Like that mighty warrior, he 
stamped his impress upon the age in which he lived, and forced, 
for a time, the affairs of a whole people to run the devious chan- 
nel of individual fortune. Had he fallen upon our soil, bitter 
enemy as he was, the spot where he fell would not have remained 



DIRECTORY. ?9 

for more than thirty years unmarked, and known only as the 
place where Tecumseh fought and died, and the last hope of the 
Indian race was cloven down. 

With every natural facility of becoming a place of importance, 
the condition of Detroit, for many years, depended on the preca- 
rious support afforded by the fur trade, the disbursements of pub- 
lic moneys, while a military post, and the liberal appropriations 
by government for public objects. The impulse and effect pro- 
duced by the settlement and cultivation of the surrounding 
country, was wanting-. This, though recent in Michigan, is now 
commenced, and is rapidly increasing. The causes of prosperity, 
now in action, their results, we show here, as they have recently 
been manifested elsewhere. 

The old town of Detroit occupied a site below or west of the 
centre of the present town; it was built entirely of wood, the 
streets were narrow, being economised to diminish the circuit 
of the stockade, by which it was secured. In June, 1805, the 
town was almost entirely consumed by fire. Shortly after this 
catastrophe, an act of Congress was passed directing the Gover- 
nor and Judges, then exercising legislative powers, to lay out a 
new town, including the site of the one destroyed and ten thou- 
sand acres of adjacent land. The act directs that a lot should 
be granted to every owner or occupant of a house in the old tov.'n, 
and the proceeds of the remainder applied to the erection of a 
court house and jail. It is from this fund, thus accruing, that the 
present public buildings have been erected in this city. The 
trust arising under the act, it is believed, is not yet closed. The 
destruction of the old town was fortunate that it led to the adop- 
tion of a plan, better adapted to a city, such as Detroit is no 
doubt destined to become. 

The city of Detroit was incorporated by an act, passed by the 
Governor and Judges, on the 4th day of October, 1815. By this 
act the municipal authority was invested in five trustees, a secre- 
tary, an assessor, a collector and a city marshal, who were to bo 
chosen on the first day in May, annually, by the freeholders or 
householders of the city paying an annual rent of forty dollars, 



40 DETROIT 

and such other persons, who should be admitted to the freedom 
of the corporation, by a majority of the electors at their annual 
meeting. 

This act of incorporation was supersedied in 1824, by a new 
charter from the legislative council; and which has since under- 
gone so many amendments that but few, if any, of its original 
provisions remain. The charter election is now held on the first 
Monday of March. No property qualification is required to con- 
stitute a " freeman" of the city. 

The following statistics of expenditures of the city of Detroit, 
for ten years, ending March, 1845, with the accompanying re- 
marks, have been published during the past year, a copy of which 
it has been thought would be interesting to the subscribers of 
the Directory: 

CITY OF DETROIT. 

Improvements and Expenditures. 
The question is often asked, what have we to show for our city 
debt of ^276,481 52? We have, it is true, no stately public 
buildings, no ornamental public parks or pleasure grounds; our 
streets are unpaved, and altogether there is very little public 
property of value that strikes the stranger's eye. Still there is 
much of public improvement in and about Detroit that has cost 
large sums, and if we were deprived of it but for one day, we- 
should pronounce ^' worth what it cost.^^ A friend who furnished 
the statistics of expenditures which we append, remarks, there 
has been a vast deal of subterranean improvement — regular bona 
lid6 pipe laying done in Detroit. In addition to fifteen miles of 
water pipes used in connection with the Hydraulic works our 
city has constructed, miles of stone, brick and plank sewers. 
The grand sewer alone, was a work of great cost. It is con- 
structed of stone side-walls 18 inches thick, with a brick arch of 
two feet spring — the bottom paved with hard burnt brick. It is 
four feet six inches wide and five feet high in the clear — the 
average depth of excavation being ten feet. It extends from the 
line of Beaubien street along the low central grounds of the city, 
and empties into the river just above Mr. Newberry's warehouse. 



DIRECTORY. 41 

Along the almost indentical track of this sewer, there was for- 
merly a considerable creek called "Savoyard River," bordered by 
low marshy grounds separating the high ridge upon which the 
old town was built from the high grounds along the brow of 
■which runs at present, Fort street. It discharged itself into the 
Detroit river near the lower line of the Cass farm, where can 
now be seen, beneath an old stone bridge, all that remains of the 
ancient Savoyard. The comfort, convenience and health of the 
city required its removal, and the drainage of the whole city made 
necessary the construction of the grand sewer. Connected with 
this is a wooden sewer extending from its junction with the grand 
sewer at Beaubien street, up to Hastings street, a distance of 
about 1,100 feet ; lateral sewers of brick have been built in most 
of the streets crossing the grand sewer, and in the principal 
streets south of Jefferson Avenue — the last draining directly into 
the river. The cost of these subterranean improvements will 
be seen in the statement of expenditures hereto annexed. 

Besides the Hydraulics and the public sewers, Detroit can point 
to several substantial public buildings — the City Hall, Firemen's 
Hall, Markets, and to the material and apparatus of a good and 
efficient tire department. And yet we do not point to these to 
prove that there has not been much carelessness and improvidence 
in the administration of our city's finances. The debt was much 
augmented by compound interest, consequent upon the neglect 
to pay the semi-annual coupons, of our bonds from 1840 to 1844, 
and the depreciation of city shinplasters and warrants, forced out 
to save taxation for a series of years, and increasing our annual 
expenses at least one half. That our citizens have paid taxes, 
and done it with a stout heart, the following statement- of expen- 
ditures for the last ten years will abundantly prove. The most 
expensive improvements being completed, and our city constant- 
ly growing in wealth and population, we may henceforth look for- 
ward to diminished burdens.

By the liberality and exertions of the friends of the sailor in 
this city, a convenient building situated as above, has been fitted 
up for the purposes of worship, for the use of sailors, either re- 
siding in the city, or visiting our port from time to time. It was 
dedicated to Almighty God on Thursday, April 2, 1846, under 
the most favorable auspices, and is designed to be emphatically 
the "Sailor's Church." The ministers of the diiTerent protest- 
ant denommations took part in the religious services, which were 
peculiarly interesting, and the occasion was one that it is believ- 
ed will not soon be forgotten. The Rev. Geo. Duffield preached 
the sermon from Acts xxvii: 31, " Except these abide in the ship, 
ye cannot be saved." 

The Bethel flag was hoisted, we are informed, for the first time 
in Detroit, on the above occasion, where we trust it will con- 
tinue to wave for all coming time, inviting the wanderer to the 
Bethel Church, which we hope may prove to many a tempest- 
tossed mariner, '' none other but the house of God, and the gate 
of Heaven." 

It is under the pastoral charge of Rev. Mr. Harrison.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND BRANCHES, 
PRIMARY SCHOOLS, he. 

By an act of Congress, approved May £0, 1326, two townships 
of land, equal to 46,080 acres, were granted to Michigan, for the 
endowment of a University. The Legislature caused these lands 
to be judiciously selected, in different parts of the State, agreea- 
bly to the terms of the grant, m quantities not less than one 
section in one body. By a provision of the constitution of Michi- 
gan, the principal arising from the sale of these lands shall be 
and forever remain a permanent found, the interest thereon to be 
applied for the support of the University and its branches. 

By an organic law of the Legislature, the government of the 
University and branches, is intrusted to twelve Regents, who 
are appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of 
the Senate; and said Board of R,egents are declared a body cor- 
porate. The Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Judges of 
the Supreme Court and Chancellor, are also ex-oificio members 
of the Board of Regents, but are not members of said corpora- 
tion. Several branches of the University have been located, 
from time to time, in different counties, and appropriations made 
in aid of their support. 

University buildings have been erected, upon the site, at Ann 



DIRECTORY. , 57 

Arbor, designated by an act of the Legislature, at a cost of about 
S50,000; additional buildings are contemplated, as soon as the 
finances of the board will warrant the expenditure. The Uni- 
versity was organized September, 1841. 

The number of students in the University, has uniformly 
increased, from year to year, and, (as far as the finances, arising 
from the interest, will admit,) further aid will be extended to 
other branches, which have not been organized, or to those, 
which, although heretofore organized, appropriations have been 
necessarily suspended. 

The course of studies in the University is thorough, and in- 
tended to afford opportunity for a most liberal education. 

No tuition money is charged, beyond an entrance fee of $10, 
for instruction in the University, the liberal appropriation by 
Congress being deemed a fund, the interest of which will defray 
all expenses incident to this department of instruction. 

The flattering condition of this institution, as well as the ex- 
cellent regulations, enacted relative to our common school system, 
affords cause for congratulation to the citizens of our growing

allow of abatements in.price nor baits to allure purchasers; neith-

Furnace, or 

Different sizes, from 15 to 50 gallons. 




This article was constructed in consequence of a suggestion 
from the American Institute, that a simple, portable and low 
priced furnace wa- much wanted by farmers for boiling and 
steaming food, preparing maple or beet root sugar, and for many 
mechanical purposes. 

It is a boiler or Caldron, set in an iron stove or furnace, so 
formed that a space of from one to two inches is left between 
the boiler and the iron casing, causing the heat in its passage 
to encircle all parts of the boiler, even to its upper edge. They 
are used with a short pipe, the same as an ordinary stove, and 
should be furnished vi-'ith a common wooden cover to facilitate 
the boiling. 

The outside casing being made in sections insures durability. 
Of the many hundreds sold, the proprietor has not heard of one 
that has broken in use,
